Sach Kahun Toh will take its readers back to how Gupta’s acting career started in the 80s from her days in the National School of Drama (NSD), her success in the film industry, her unconventional pregnancy, and also her journey on motherhood as a single parent. Gupta will also address various issues in the film and entertainment industry in the book. This includes politics, the casting couch, and the struggles of actors who have no "godfathers" in the industry.
The publishing company said that the book is “a candid, self-deprecating portrait of the person behind the persona, detailing her life's many choices, her battles against stereotypes, then and now, and how she may not be as unconventional as people think her to be.”
The actor was recently seen playing a 90-year-old grandmother in the Netflix Original film Sardar Ka Grandson. The film also stars actors Arjun Kapoor, John Abraham, Soni Razdan, and others. Read more about it here.
